What is actually going on with Germany?

We want to invite you to our w2wtal-breakfast on next Sunday (February 19) at 11:00 CET in Café ADA with a discussion on Germany before the elections afterwards.

We know: Most of our friends are not allowed to vote. Those who newly came to our city in no way. But many of those who even came to Germany decades ago don‘t have the right to vote in this country. So why should we talk about a year of elections when many of you are excluded from voting?

Because this elections, and especially the time before, will affect everyone who lives here and because refugees who came to Germany will be a main topic of the election campaign. On Sunday we want to give you a report about the possible consequences. And we would like to answer your questions if you do not know such an election with an election campaign that will last for months. What actually will be elected by whom? Can an election change your own life? Who wants to be elected and who are these people and parties? Also we would like to talk about how we can change the fact, that much will be talked about refugees before the elections and not so much with them.

Everyone who is interested in this topic is invited to stay at Café ADA on Sunday after the breakfast and to discuss with us what this all means. Of course there is a common breakfast as usual. We look forward to see you.

welcome2wuppertal (w2wtal) is an initiative of people who live here for a longer time and newcomers to our city. Together we want to build up self-organized and real soldary structures, which enable all people to participate and decide about our living. Get involved, come along and join us! If you have any questions, please contact us via E-Mail (use our encrypted formmailer for sensitive content), if you want to get informed about our next meetings, please inform yourself via our channels at Facebook, Twitter or telegram.

We try to support a self-empowerment of people who came to us. Being affected by a one-sided legislation and an often racist practice, newcomers have to become political participants on their own in a new social environment. w2wtal wants to help to improve the conditions for a political participation as independent actors of our city‘s society.

Since 2015 we support refugees in visiting a self-organized Deutsch-course. Our main goal was the idea to offer a language-course for all people, without looking for their papers and without paying attention to whether someone is living officially in our town. We still find this very important. After two years of Deutsch-Courses at Café ADA, our course moved to a new adress, where we offer two courses a week again.
